?ve?Lo Sisov Nachalah li?Venei Yisrael mi?Mateh el Mateh?. Since when is a woman who inherits forbidden to marry into a different tribe than that of her father?

1.

Rashi (on 27:7), Ramban and Targum Yonasan: The prohibition of marrying into a different tribe was restricted to that generation only.

3)

?ve?Lo Sisov Nachalah li?Venei Yisrael mi?Mateh el Mateh?. Why was "Lo Sisov Nachalah" said to that generation exclusively?

1.

Ramban: Because the Torah was concerned that the portions of the tribes should not get mixed up even as they were dividing the land. 1

2.

R. Bachye: Because, as ,long as Yirael had n ot inherited Eretz Yisrael, each tribe independently corresponded to its counterpart in Heaven; but once they had omnherited it, they merged into one. 2


1

Ramban: And it extended it to the whole generation because the exact time of distribution was not yet known.

2

See R. Bachye.

4)

Why was the Torah not similarly concerned regarding an heiress who was already married, or a woman whose father or brothers would die later (leaving behind no sons) after she already married into a different tribe?

1.

Ramban #1: Because the Torah was only concerned about something that was rectifiable, which those cases were not. And it did not want to change the laws of inheritance in such a case by prohibiting her husband or her son from inheriting her. 1

2.

Ramban #2: It was. Because Pasuk 8 and Pasuk 9 are talking about two different Mitzvos. Pasuk 8 is a prohibition against an heiress marrying into a different tribe - with reference to the B?nos Tz?lofchad 2 - whereas Pasuk 9 teaches us that if a woman who is already married into a different tribe inherits property, her blood relatives inherit her and not her sons or her husband.
